The Cook Political Report shifted the Ohio governorās race in Democrat Amy Actonās favor Friday, noting the fallout from a controversial attack ad from her Republican opponent, Vivek Ramaswamy.
The Ramaswamy campaign ad featured Actonās estranged mother Donna Arthur lambasting her daughter as a āliarā and urging viewers not to vote for her.
Acton has publicly spoken about her troubled childhood for years, well before she ran for office, including the reason her mother lost custody: documented neglect and abuse, most horrifically, Actonās stepfather sexually abusing her from the ages of 9 to 12. Arthur sided with her husband against her daughter; he fled the state after being indicted and remained a fugitive until his death. Arthur stayed married to him and Acton has not spoken to her since she was 12.
Republicans love pedos so much
So many of them are the worst kind of sociopaths. Ramaswamy, Trump, Vance, all of them lack the capability of understanding that other people have emotions. They donāt care if a child gets hurt, because itās not them. They donāt care that this woman abused and abandoned her children, they put her on TV because she supports them.
Can someone remind me again why billionaires are so smart and thatās obviously how they made all their money and why they deserve to keep it? This guy makes decisions like heās trying to finish the Choose Your Own Adventure book as quickly and gruesomely as possible.
He put four million more on running this ad after this firestorm about it being bad.
Two things youāll never hear from people with personality disorders like Ramaswamy or Trump is āthat thing I did was wrongā or āIām sorry.ā They have to protect their egos at all costs, ego injury is intolerable for them.
Itās called propaganda, and those with money can afford it. There has always been forces that serve to launder money and power throughout history. Itās just gotten so much easier in the last couple decadesā¦
Heās on his fourth read-through and just trying to see all the outcomes at this point
Billionaire status is luck, megalomania, and being a sociopath. Being smart isnāt that important.
Good. Vivekās an idiot.
And a scumbag.
Ramaswamy showing how the GOP (gross, old pedophiles) party keeps earning its moniker.
We shouldnāt have spent years slagging off on Ohio. The prophecy has become truth.
Ohio Saves America arc was not on my 2026 bingo card
Ramaswamy would be the scummiest person currently running for office. If not for Ken Paxtonās existence.
Great work, Vivek! Youāre as dumb as you are douchy. May you have a bedbug infestation for the rest of your hopefully short life.
Iām surprised it had this negative reaction. Iām used to people not being decent.
The Russian troll budget is under pressure.
Iām under the impression that Acton had always been ahead in polls, which was why Ramaswamyās campaign stooped to this desperate measure.
Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Weird, usually the other team is the one who does that.
Iād say now thereās actually two teams for the first time in a long time
Good point.
He had an uphill battle with a name like that running as a Republican anyway.

The party throws Vivek under the bus in 3ā¦2ā¦1ā¦
Theyād also have to throw Vance under the bus, because he came out strongly in support of that ad, even after everyone knew the details.
